It's hard to overstate the value I've gotten out of Freenode IRC over the years. The #postgresql channel is chock-full of contributors and PG gurus willing to generously spend time explaining concepts and best practices. A real ge

Have you experienced any pain-points with Aurora that perhaps you would have avoided by using RDS? We've been thinking of switching over, but some teams reported seeing different performance behavior from their existing queries that in

Was fortunate enough to take Dr. Gupta's undergraduate-level version of this class over a decade ago. To this day I still remember how enjoyable and simple he was able to make this material, despite it being actually somewhat tricky. D

At least based on our IK12/YC experience, it was pretty rare to run into EdTech teams with no classroom experience on their founding team.

Any alternatives to 1Password / LastPass that support Google's SSO? I tried TeamsID before and I was ok but not nearly as feature-full as I was hoping: e.g. no automatic auto-fill on the page you land on, no password generation fo

Agreed. As someone who regularly gets "Linux laptops" for work, their keyboards flex inwards and their touchpads are miserable. I often carry a wireless mouse with me to meetings because using those things ends up being such a pai

Is flowtype actually getting left behind? What's the evidence for that? I'm simply curious because our team heavily invested in it over the past couple of years and I'd love to know ahead of time when it's time to jump s

All of our chargers and cables at the office are Anker, so far pretty happy with them.

I second this, the Postgres contributors are consistently setting the bar for the rest of OSS projects out there, it's consistently been my favorite part of the stack for a long time now. Don't forget about their phenomenal #postg

His enthusiasm is truly contagious, somewhat reminiscent of how excited Feynman could make you feel about science.

Would be great to have Lightroom / Photoshop CC work on Ubuntu. Not as interested in Premiere, as DaVinci Resolve comes in a Linux flavor. Also any chance we get solid support for Wacom on there as well?

I've definitely struggled with getting a good bang for my performance buck on the macOS ecosystem for building a video editing or gaming rig. These days you can find a pre-made PC with 32gb RAM, GTX 1070, core i7 and more for $1400, bu

Not surprising at all, in Italy Naples is infamous for being the city where things disappear unless they're well nailed down.

I really enjoyed Trieste during the day a couple of years ago, delightful and historic. Haven't seen much of it at night though. It's not unlikely it's got a larger percentage of folks coming through from the Balkans / E

Speaking of Italy, you'd be hard pressed to feel endangered in Rome, Milan, Turin etc. Naples can get a bit sketchy, but even then. Switzerland and Austria also seem pretty relaxed in my experience.

That's a bummer. I have a sizeable chunk of raw image files I'd love to back up somewhere without having to have it on my machine, Dropbox would be a good fit if it wasn't for the 1TB limit on individuals. Ended up uploading

How do folks feel about Terraform vs Cloudformation for AWS-only deployments these days? Do we have a clear winner? I remember even a year back there were certain features of AWS that were being made available through Terraform first before

Would love to find an alternative that works for larger teams vs being meant for one individual at a time. LastPass has that functionality, big part of why we use it.

Yeah, LastPass. I sometimes copy and paste the auto-generated password just in case it loses it. I've had many occasions where it would flat out drop it after I save the site and now I have to immediately password reset because the pas

I really want to love LastPass, I think all the pieces are in place, the UX is underwhelming though. We have been using it at the company for years, and I agree that it feels very rickety. Can't even begin to count the # of times it lo
